Off the Job

When not in the office, Margaret enjoys traveling to new places, trying new experiences, and learning new things. She recently finished hiking the Oregon section of the Pacific Crest Trail and is looking forward to starting the Washington section, as soon as she can talk her husband into coming with her.
